I kept checking YouTube to see when the hell The Genius Season 2 would be subbed. I have no idea where I read that it would be out 11th November, but it was clearly wrong. 7th December seems to be the correct date, so there's 3 weeks to go until it's out. I'm sure most of you are already aware of this, but I thought I'd mention it for those that aren't.
Unrelated,
Defiant Gaming continues to be a great place to shop. Accidentally ordered a duplicate miniature today, emailed them to have it changed to another of the same value and they replied within minutes saying that it would be fixed before the package is mailed out. Had a parcel from them arrive today and something was missing. I emailed them a second time to notify them and again they were on the ball and it was included in the parcel leaving from them today. Super friendly, super quick and reasonably priced. Need more shops like them here.
Games Empire is excellent and I still buy stuff from them, but they don't always have the new releases right away. They still have a killer deal on
Dreadball, which I haven't seen better elsewhere, and it is a great hybrid miniatures/board game. It's like a tabletop version of Speedball, for those that remember that great game; I played the shit out of Speedball 2 on Amiga.
And as much as a board game day with a bunch of gaffers sounds great (as opposed to coming down for PAX), I think most people need a few more reasons to spend a few grand on travel and accommodation. PAX is that excuse to head interstate and see some cool things, but the meetups are the most rewarding.
A few grand? Can I stay in your room for free? I'll sleep on the floor, it'll be fine. That's some serious money for a few days with most of the time not spent inside the motel room.
Happy birthday, Jambo! Sorry I missed it earlier, hope you had/have a good one. Funny to think of all the AusGAF members with their birthdays in a clump.
